Schizotetranychus spiculus Baker and Pritchard 1960
No full text<i>Schizotetranychus spiculus</i> Baker and Pritchard, 1960 <p>Females of this species have short dorsal body setae which are broader at base, tapering distally and subequal in length, half length of longitudinal intervals between them. Longitudinal striae extend to first pair of dorsocentral setae (c1); striae between first and second pairs of dorsocentral setae transverse, between second and third pairs form a V pattern; fourth pair of dorsocentrals f1 situated further apart than other 3 pairs of dorsocentrals.</p> <p> <b>Remarks:</b> This species was described on <i>Citrus</i> sp. (Rutaceae) from Kaloleni, Mombasa district; by Baker and Pritchard (1960). It has been reported on <i>Murraya koenigii</i> (Rutaceae) from India (Karuppuchamy and Mohanasundaram, 1987). No specimens were collected in this study.</p>Published as part of <i>Toroitich, Faith J., Ueckermann, Edward A., Theron, Pieter D. & Knapp, Markus, 2009, The tetranychid mites (Acari: Tetranychidae) of Kenya and a redescription of the species Peltanobia erasmusi Meyer (Acari: Tetranychidae) based on males, pp. 33-47 in Zootaxa 2176</i> on page 43, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/189364">10.5281/zenodo.189364</a>
Paraplonobia (Anaplonobia) prosopis Tuttle & Baker 1964
No full textParaplonobia (Anaplonobia) prosopis (Tuttle & Baker, 1964) Aplonobia prosopis Tuttle & Baker, 1964; Neopetrobia prosopis Meyer, 1987 The peritremes end in anastomosis with a network of cell-like structures. Prodorsal and opisthosomal setae are strongly serrate and sub-spatulate with e 2, f 1, f 2 and h 1 set on small tubercles. Setae well separated from each other, almost equidistant between all dorsocentrals, dorsal setae sub-equal in length. Dorsal striations faint, longitudinal on prodorsum and transverse on hysterosoma and without lobes. Leg setae strong, lanceolate and serrated. Legs shorter than the body. Leg chaetotaxy as follows: tarsi 13 (2)- 10 (1)- 9 - 8; tibiae 9 - 7-8 - 7; genua 4 - 4 - 3 - 2; femora 5 - 4 - 3 - 3; coxae 2 - 2 - 1 - 1. Specimens examined: Four females collected on Prosopis juliflora (Fabaceae) from Marigat, Baringo district (N00° 28.907 '; E036°03.230'). Remarks: P. prosopis Tuttle and Baker was first described from Prosopis juliflora in Arizona (United States of America) and the second record of this species is from Mexico (Tuttle and Baker, 1964). This is the first record of this species in the Afro-tropical region on P. juliflora which is an invasive plant species in Kenya after being introduced as a land reclamation plant in the semi-arid parts of the country. It is therefore possible that this mite was introduced together with its host plant although in our collection, the mite population was very low and the damage symptoms could not be observed on the host plant. The males of this species are not known. In the field, this species is dark red in colour.Published as part of Toroitich, Faith J., Ueckermann, Edward A., Theron, Pieter D. & Knapp, Markus, 2009, The tetranychid mites (Acari: Tetranychidae) of Kenya and a redescription of the species Peltanobia erasmusi Meyer (Acari: Tetranychidae) based on males, pp. 33-47 in Zootaxa 2176 on page 35, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18936

Computational characterization of dimerization and ligand binding in biological systems
No full textThe self-association of proteins to form dimers or higher-order oligomers is a very common phenomenon in biology. Protein dimerization or oligomerization acts as a control tool for the execution of functions in many biological systems. Three systems were studied by computational methods in this thesis. Cyclic diguanylic acid (CDG) is a ubiquitous messenger involved in bacterial signaling networks. CDG can form an intercalated dimer and bind at the inhibition site of PleD. MD simulations were carried out for the CDG dimer as well as the analogue of CDG (endo-S-CDG) in solution and binding to the PleD protein. It was demonstrated, that dimeric CDG is only marginally stabilized even in high concentration. The results help the fundamental understanding of c-di-GMP and preventing biofilm formation. Insulin is a small protein that plays an eminent role in controlling glucose uptake in cells. Insulin can associate as a dimer which leads to diabetes. The key role of the B24 residue for insulin dimerization was identified. Our work provided an insight for designing analogues of human insulin and thus a therapy for diabetes

Baker, Donald Wyckoff
No full textMemorial Statement for Professor Donald Wyckoff Baker, D.V.M., Ph.D. (1899-1978) who was Director of the Diagnostic Laboratory (1928-1933), Assistant Professor (1933) of Parasitology, Associate Professor (1940), Professor (1947), and Professor Emeritus (1965) at the New York State College of Veterinary Medicine. As such, he became the first Professor of Parasitology at the College. Over a span of 37 years, Dr. Baker was "devoted to people, the Veterinary College, and Cornell University" as a frequent traveler, speaker at hundreds of meetings, author of scientific papers, and consulting veterinarian. As a teacher, "he chose to emphasize the problem that parasitism presented to the clinician." The memorial statements contained herein were prepared by the Office of the Dean of the University Faculty of Cornell University to honor its faculty for their service to the university

No full text<p>This dataset supports research published in Chapter 8 of James Baker, <em>The Business of Satirical Prints in Late-Georgian England</em> (London: Palgrave, 2017). contains data compiled by James Baker in February 2013. It includes information on places depicted in satirical prints designed by Isaac Cruikshank (1764-1811) and published by three publishers: Samuel Fores, Allen & West, and James Sayer / Laurie & Whittle. The information is derived from multiple web sources. The information was entered by hand. It is not intended to be exhaustive. The data is held in a single comma-separated values (.csv) file of 549 rows and 13 columns. Information is considered correct at time of compilation. All errors are the fault of the author.</p>
